Lidl sharpening stone heads up

[Lampwick]

£6.99 in Lidl.

No idea what it’s like but wondered if anyone on here has bought and used one? If so how was it?

Blimey you're tight! I'd have bought and tried it for 7 quid!

good morning Lampwick I bought one a few years back and found it very good. Hope that helps

A few differed grit options. I went course, 400/800, for garden shears etc not using it on knives.

I much prefer diamond stones Also 400 and 800 is too great a leap in grits . Faithful tools have a pretty good 3x grit that's inexpensive and needs no water or oil , easy to learn "Its a sad fact that a great amount of knife sharpening stones and gadgets "

What about 1000/ 6000?

1000 grit is as fine a grit anyone needs for deer work 1500 . One caked up stag with mud and **** stag will be chipped and rolled over or chipped as soon as the stalker has bled and green gralloched a stag . real fine edges so sharp you could shave your pubes are not going to last a good session

I bought one of the 1000/6000 and gave it a whirl for the first time last night. Maybe it’s because the stone is brand new but it seems much coarser than advertised. Anyone else feel the same?
The two knives still came out shaving sharp, so the stone works just fine.

You are a brave man Sir

I bought one - there’s going to need to be a significant learning curve
